Irish Conservative Party

The Conservative Party of Ireland was a conservative political party in Ireland that existed during the early 20th century. The party advocated a protected market, government intervention in the economy, acceptance of both Catholicism and Protestantism, limited citizenship for immigrants, and a strong military. It therefore attracted moderate Irish politicians and non-militant Ulster Scots who wanted to maintain the status quo, and was the largest party in Ireland at its foundation, having 57.7% of the popular vote.
